Statistic

I don't want to be a statistic who uses love as a way of life,
The kind of girl who puts herself down thinking she'll never become someones wife.

I don't want to be a statistic
a self-hating teen,
You know the kind that sits around
and has no self-esteem.

I don't want to be a statistic
the kind that lets life fall short
crying and moping around suddenly
becomes an olyimpic sport.

I don't want to be a statistic
but it's hard not to be,
Because this whole poem more
than applys to me.
